"Between '89 and '93 I was a wild child, a real nutter."

"I was pinching myself the whole time, it was the most bonkers thing ever. One minute I was doing a play in Battersea Arts Centre and the next I was on a boat up the Amazon with this rock god, both of us with feathers on our heads, writing mad songs and drinking rum."

"I go sky-diving. It's not for the adrenaline buzz, it's more a will-power thing. I was interested to see how much fear I would have and, er, it's not a lot actually. I got quite bored when I was hanging in the air. I want to do it without a parachute next."

"You go into everything headfirst, and even if it's not the path you expected, you feel it was still the right choice."

"I'm always in trouble, more or less. It's weird how people always think that trouble, or the side path, is something that's incorrect."

"I got bored after a year of people telling me to be an amoeba, fucking live and breathe Chekhov, wank, wank, wank. Waste another three years when I could be working? It was shite."

"I know why I'm getting facials, why I'm getting manicures, but why are you? Men in L.A. ask you whether your shoes are Prada or Miu Miu. How the fuck do you even know?"

"There are schools outside of walls. I've taken advantage of those."

"I'd been successful in the UK but I wanted more. I didn't come to LA hoping I'd get spotted. I arrived with a strategy to work and to make things happen."

"I sometimes have to remind myself the joy of live theater and that I was in the play 'Swagers' that won an Evening Standard Award."
